Mudlahhim, winless since 2023 however that win did come over this C&D and it’s hard to deny that he looks well handicapped from a 9lbs lower mark.

He ran some fair races on the turf last term at Brighton over today’s 7f trip and up over the mile, placing in a trio of races off 52, latterly in a 0-65, and after a quiet re-appearance this term, he quickly improved to run a fair 4th at Brighton, just doing his running from a position wider than ideal.

He has excuses the last twice, he exerted a lot of energy after being slowly away over C&D on his penultimate start, and he never made it home when attempting to make all over a 1m1f trip too far last time out.

Back down to 7f at his last winning venue, he’s down in a 0-55 race here, and with a positive upgrade in the saddle to Kieran O’Neil it’s hard to discount him from bouncing back with a big run today.

Our dedicated team of seasoned tipsters analyse every possible data point when collecting Cheltenham Festival tips. This means they can more accurately predict which horses will win or place in any given race at the festival, no matter what the bookmaker price.

Plus, once our tipsters have picked their Cheltenham racing tips, they always write up their reasoning before they post them right here.
